Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet followers discover that they actually lose weight by following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most important process of the system is to control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
